Outside the mall.

The Investigation and Arrest Bureau, under the guise of official duties, set up a police cordon and has evacuated everyone within a ten-kilometer radius.

Fortunately, this is considered the outskirts of the city, so there aren't many residents, and tomorrow's college entrance exam won't be affected.

Swarms of police cars from the Investigation and Arrest Bureau flickered with lights.

The Director has arrived, but against the seventy thousand Life Ropes, he is utterly powerless.

He attempted to break through, but with a peak fourth-tier strength, he was severely injured in an instant, and the Investigation and Arrest Bureau suffered heavy casualties.

"Admiral, hurry up and come!"

The Director, covered in blood, paced back and forth anxiously.

...

Inside the mall.

Beep beep beep!

Beep beep beep!

Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, a dense buzzing similar to an alarm clock countdown sounded from all directions.

"Do they want to use the smoke?"

Dai Yuegui was tending to Lu Xingrong when he suddenly froze.

To prevent public panic, at times the Investigation and Arrest Bureau releases a kind of smoke.

Ordinary people with weak Qi Blood will faint after smelling it.

If all is safe, people will wake up after a sleep without any aftereffects.

But if the situation is dire, people can die more peacefully without suffering.

This is the last resort of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau.

At the same time, it also proves that things have reached a life-or-death stage.

"Director's order!

"The entire building is surrounded by countless Life Ropes; we can't get in from the outside, nor can we get out.

"Wait, the Admiral is on the way. If he can't break through, we'll... die for our country!"

Lu Xinrong said with a steady face.

Just then, the mist had cleared.

With the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground spreading, the initial thousands of people's clamor began to quiet down in an eerie state.

The smoke entered his nostrils, and Su Yue experienced a brief moment of dizziness.

But it was only a moment; then the Qi Blood within dispelled the smoke.

The other students were in a similar state; they were dizzy for a few seconds and then became clear-headed.

For ordinary people, the smoke is very effective.

In just a few minutes, people were sprawled everywhere, the atmosphere extremely eerie, at a glance, it even resembled a field full of corpses.

The air was deathly still, and the Martial Artists seemed to hear each other's heartbeats.

Dai Yuegui looked at the students, feeling guilty.

"Instructor, it's not your fault, even without you, we might have come here to play. It has nothing to do with you!"

Gong Ling stepped forward to comfort him.

"Instructor, it's too late for guilt. We might not even die; we still have the Admiral."

Liao Ji licked his lips, his gaze on the rooftop door.

"We will surely be okay. Everyone, don't worry!"

Dai Yuegui nodded.

...

"Bold aliens, dare to cause trouble in my Cengyan City!"

Li Xingpei arrived in a whirlwind.

She was on the verge of losing her mind.

She was just about to get off work and go for a foot massage to relax.

But suddenly the alarms went off, and a mutation occurred at Cengyan Shopping Center.

The Government Building and here span north and south, the furthest distance, driving was already too late; Li Xingpei rushed all the way here, maximizing her speed.

When she saw seventy thousand Life Ropes, she was also shocked to the point of dry mouth and tongue.

This Yangxiang Sect terror attack has undoubtedly been long in the planning, and its scale is unprecedented.

Finally, Li Xingpei locked her gaze on the center of the sky.

There, a creature with outstretched arms floated vertically.

All of these Life Ropes stemmed from this creature.

"Admiral Li, do you remember me?

"Back then, you chased us, and Brother Baimei sacrificed his life to cover my escape.

"Back then, you were so mighty, cutting down my Brother Baimei alive, I was so scared I could only flee headlong."

Fan Jiao's voice echoed in the sky, like a fierce ghost, terrifying to the senses.

"So... it's you!

"Fan Jiao!"

Li Xingpei's pupils contracted.

This matter dates back a year, when she was tracking the Yangxiang Sect cultists for a high school student murder case and finally found a lead.

Unfortunately, she ultimately killed Baimei but another mastermind escaped.

Fan Jiao!

Another mastermind!

"Such a lowly name, not worthy of the Admiral's attention!

"The reason I painstakingly planned for a year is simply to conduct a live broadcast for you!

"The Palm Eye Race joined the war, and your Wuwen Race Military Department is retreating step by step. If, at this time, I spread videos of killed Martial Artists' families, who knows what expressions those Martial Artists would have.

"Admiral Li Xingpei, will you become a mortal sinner for the human race?"

Fan Jiao's words made Li Xingpei tremble all over.

At this moment, the Director of the Investigation and Arrest Bureau ran over:

"Admiral, the Martial Arts Association's portal in Cengyan City has been hacked, we are urgently repairing!"

The Director spoke while drenched in sweat!

"Has the video been leaked to the Martial Arts Association website?"

Li Xingpei's head throbbed painfully.

The Martial Arts Association website is where Divine Land Martial Artists usually communicate online.

If the video is uploaded to the site, she'd truly become a mortal sinner.

"Admiral, I'm sorry; it's my incompetence!"

The Director almost wanted to slap himself.

The video had already been uploaded to the website; it was too late.

"Damn it!"

Li Xingpei gritted her teeth.

"Admiral Li, you don't look so good. Did your boyfriend dump you or is it menopause?

"By the way, guess how many Martial Artists' families I have imprisoned in the Life Rope Net?

"800? 1000? 1500?

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to count; they're just lowly lives of your Wuwen Race... not worth even one of Brother Baimei's fingers.

"Li Xingpei, I won't kill you, but I will make you live worse than death.

"From today, you Li Xingpei will live under the pointing fingers of the entire Divine Land; you will become a mortal sinner, and I want you to be condemned under guilt.

"Hahahaha, when you killed my Brother Baimei, did you ever think of today's outcome?"

The sharp laughter was painful to the eardrums.

"You're courting death!"

Li Xingpei stomped the ground, and the longsword in her palm had already slashed out a massive sword arc with a diameter of ten meters.

The sword energy was towering, like a blood moon covering the world.

Sizzle!

The sword arc collided with the Life Rope Net, the harsh oscillating sound lingered, and even raised a whirlwind in the air.

Unfortunately.

One sword fell, and the Life Rope Net remained unmoved.

"Li Xingpei, I returned to the Yangxiang Race, consumed the tribe's secret treasures, and now I possess peak fifth-tier strength.

"And this Life Rope Net is my Yangxiang Race's secret treasure, containing seventy thousand life ropes of the deceased. How could you, in poor condition, possibly cut it? Since I dared to act, I had already prepared thoroughly.

"Hahaha, desperate?"

Fan Jiao continued laughing maniacally.

"Believers, begin the assault; slaughter them all!"

Fan Jiao ordered, and instantly, all Martial Artists on the rooftop moved toward the two doors.

...

"Evil apostate's plan, did everyone hear it?

"I believe the Admiral can definitely break through this Life Rope Net, and we are the only combat power inside the mall.

"Although everyone is not yet of age to go to war, this time, I beg everyone.

"Hold these three doors to the death; never let the Yangxiang Race apostates break in.

"These families are of extraordinary significance; if we can hold them, it would be a great achievement."

Everyone in the Investigation and Arrest Bureau gathered, and Su Yue and the others were also gathered around.

There were also three or four first-tier Martial Artists gathered together.

Outside, Fan Jiao's words could be heard clearly within.

They were the only force that could guard the three doors.

"We'll do our best!"

Su Yue took a deep breath.

What else could they do but try? At this point, they fought for the Divine Land, for the civilians, and ultimately for their own lives.

The students trembled all over.

Saying they're not afraid, that would be a lie.
